Pink

These next two weeks are not my favourite; the anniversary of my mom's death is in one week (May 7th) and then Mother's Day is 5 days later. Boo. I'm so thankful to be a mom. But ya. I'm also on my 5th sinus infection in 6 months. So frustrating mostly because I can't breathe and it's exhausting. I'm pretty sure it's linked to my autoimmune disease as I've never had one in my life until this past October. Googling it suggests so. I just sent Gary to the store in hopes that he can find something magical besides a humidifier, sinus rinse, nasal spray and decongestant. You know, like a magical vacuum that can suck everything out of your sinuses. Does anyone know of any other treatment for it? Could you do chiro? Massage? Acupuncture?

{Whenever I see these pink blossoms, I think of my mom. The last time she went outside was for some pictures under the tree and it was always right outside of her window. Although these aren't cherry blossoms are they? }

No matter how crappy I feel, I have three very awesome kids and a wonderful husband. Kai is so helpful, encouraging, sensitive and hardworking. Koen is hilarious and eager. Nya is energetic, adorable, and so easy going. Let me give you two examples of Gary's wonderfulness. He donates blood and he makes us healthy and delicious meals regularly. Oh, he also is pretty great at making dessert and I love dessert!

Have a great week. The weather forecast is looking awesome here for the Lower Mainland.

Beautiful blossoms - I agree that they don't look like cherry blossoms though. Isn't it interesting that certain flowers/scents etc can bring us right back to certain events and old memories? I hope you have pleasant memories (as well as the understandably sad ones) over the next couple of weeks.
